Yeah I’ve tried those but it seems like such a hack. Weirdly, the one handed “pull screen into reach” doesn’t allow you to swipe down across the notifications bar to open notifications, in that mode it only registers swipes that start from below the notifications bar. And the floating button gets a little unwieldy since it overlaps with the volume popup. And in the “show notifications” mode, the button opens notifications but doesn’t let you close them (once you press it twice for the “control center” it no longer does anything)
Not to mention it doesn’t really help with the phone itself being uncomfortable to hold. I’m trying my best to vote with my wallet, but that has meant sticking with a Pixel 2 up until a few years ago, and the Pixel 5 was my “only 2mm taller” compromise - I completely overlooked the fact that the Pixel 2 screen starts like 1cm from the top while the Pixel 5 screen starts nearly at the top. The Pixel 10a is almost 10mm taller, so I’m not sure if I’ll be sold on it.
I actually bought a OnePlus 6 something (t?) at one point fully intending to give in to a bigger screen but I hated it and returned it.

I don’t use a case and I use Lineage. I’m not really concerned.

sad pixel 5 noises
I’ve been waiting for a camera bump free upgrade, the 10a might be it but I’m reluctant to continue up the phone size escalator.

My *arrstack DBs are part of my backed up portion, so they’ll remember what I have downloaded in my non-backed up portion.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 1 week ago:
Same here, ~30TB currently but my personal artifacts portion is only like 2TB, which is very affordable with rsync.net, which conveniently has an alerts setting if more than X kb hasn’t changed in Y days. (I have my Synology set up to spit out daily security reports to meet that amount, so even if I don’t change anything myself I won’t get bugged)

I think it might actually be photoshopped to look like a print, because that’s the same picture that’s on the Wikipedia page for Jesus Nut, with the same hand, background, and shadows, except on Wikipedia it’s obviously a metal part.

The most notable difference is that meshtastic has range in the order of miles. At least 1 mile even with bad antennas but with other nodes nearby to repeat your messages, 20 miles is not hard to do.

- Comment on Deluge/Radarr/Sonarr...How to best delete release group naming BEFORE the filename? 1 month ago:
Are you using sonarr/radarr to do your renaming? I have mine set to patterns that put the release group at the end. It usually has no problem picking up release groups at the beginning (especially for anime, that seems to be pretty common), so by the time it’s auto imported, the filenames have been normalized to standard format with release group at the end.
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege Has Been Hacked Again, And Players Are Reportedly Getting 67-Day Bans 1 month ago:
I see! My metaphor was mainly meant to illustrate that whether anticheat is directly related to the current security issue is orthogonal to why I thought it was relevant to bring up. I could have picked a better one that didn’t imply that their misplaced concern about Linux cheaters actually consumes resources.
Maybe a better metaphor would be a municipality refusing to do something about a small issue (maybe poor transit to a specific neighborhood) and also actively refusing to let that neighborhood solve the problem themselves (proton devs) with the excuse that allowing that neighborhood to have transit would cost too much (even if the neighborhood were to do it themselves) and cause more crime (painting Linux users as hackers) all the while some completely unrelated group is actually causing the crime elsewhere.
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege Has Been Hacked Again, And Players Are Reportedly Getting 67-Day Bans 1 month ago:
I’m assuming this is a good faith question and that you’re not just just trying to play word games: they’re focused on scapegoating Linux by refusing to support it and blaming it for supposedly being a security nightmare. I’m pointing out that this is misplaced obviously because they have bigger concerns, as evidenced by the article.
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege Has Been Hacked Again, And Players Are Reportedly Getting 67-Day Bans 2 months ago:
It’s both a form of security, and my point is that they’re focusing on the wrong area.

Thank goodness they refused to support Proton/Linux then because, and this is a direct quote from their ticket tracker: “Linux is an open door for cheaters” 🙄

I would replace it. Sometimes I push my luck and for minor or unexpected errors I just clear the error and re-add the drive, but this many errors is likely a solid sign.
- Comment on Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at? 2 months ago:
I similary only print useful things and tools, and my impression was that paid models seem to be mostly decorative things, whereas the most useful functional prints seem to usually be free. I don’t think I’ve ever paid for a model, but cults has a lot of paid stuff if you want to look.

Hopefully forgefed (based on activity pub) helps with this - in theory you could use your codeberg account to open issues on repos hosted on other instances. I believe forgejo is working on implementing it.
- Comment on What's gluetun? 4 months ago:
I use gluetun to connect specific docker containers to a VPN without interfering with other networking, since it’s all self contained. It also has lots of providers built in which is convenient so you can just set the provider, your password, and your preferred region instead of needing to manually enter connection details manage lists of servers.
Another nice feature is that it supports scripts for port forwarding, which works out of the box for some providers. So it can automatically get the forwarded port and then execute a custom script to set that port in your torrent client, soulseek, or whatever.
I could just use a wireguard or openvpn container, but this also makes it easy to hop between vpn providers just by swapping the connection details regardless of whether the providers only support wg or openvpn. Just makes it a little more universal.

I second this. Gluetun makes it so easy, working with docker’s internal networking is such a pain.

I love to see this. It is kinda weird to have to use rolls, but I guess the mechanical complexity of separating sheets and feeding them reliably is not fit for an MVP. I wonder how accurately the cut sheets would stack with individual sheets of another brand.

- Comment on Split Tunnel by Domain on Router Level? 5 months ago:
If you search for pfsense alias script, you’ll find some examples on updating aliases from a script, so you’ll only need to write the part that gets the hostnames. Since it sounds like the hostnames are unpredictable, it might be hard as the only way to get them on the fly is to listen for what hostnames are being resolved by clients on the LAN, probably by hooking into unbound or whatever. If you can share what the service is it would make it easier to determine if there’s a shortcut, like the example I gave where all the subdomains are always in the same CIDR and if one of the hostnames is predictable (or if the subdomains are always in the same CIDR as the main domain for example, then you can have the script just look up the main domain’s cidr). Another possibly easier alternative would be to find an API that lets you search the certificate transparency logs for the main domain which would reveal all subdomains that have SSL certificates. You could then just load all those subdomains into the alias and let pfsense look up the IPs.
I would investigate whether the IPs of each subdomain follow a pattern of a particular CIDR or unique ASN because reacting to DNS lookups in realtime will probably mean some lag between first request and the routing being updated, compared to a solution that’s able to proactively route all relevant CIDRs or all CIDRs assigned to an ASN.
- Comment on Split Tunnel by Domain on Router Level? 5 months ago:
I think the way people do it is by making a script that gets the hostnames and updates the alias, then just schedule it in pfsense. I’ve also seen ASN based routing using a script, but that’ll only work on large services that use their own AS. If the service is large enough, they might predictably use IPs from the same CIDR, so if you spend some time collecting the relevant IPs, you might find that even when the hostnames are new and random, they always go to the same pool of IPs, that’s the lazy way I did selective routing to GitHub since it was always the same subnet.
